It is a gift from Niigata 🙏. Yukichubai is a classic light and dry wine. but this one seems to be a seasonal summer sake. It is a seasonal summer sake with a refreshing taste🎶. It is slightly sweet and has a nice sharpness! The alcohol content was high, so it was better to drink it on the rocks. It was better to drink it on the rocks👍

Back in the day, Niigata's Sanbai was an extremely hard-to-find brand. I often visited Niigata Takata on business and was often presented with it. At the time, I had no interest in sake at all and almost never went through with it. Now, in 2021, Koshino-Kanbai is easily available at Aeon. Mine-no-Hakubai is also often seen as Hishiko at local liquor stores. However, Yukinubai is not so easy to find in my hometown. So, I got it on a business trip to Joetsu. I paired it with a taste of spring, firefly squid and broccoli with olive oil. It has a moderate aroma of cemedine or banana. It is sweet. It harmonizes with the sweetness and bitterness of firefly squid and broccoli. Lastly, there is a final bitter taste that is refreshing and delicious in the mouth!

It is a gift from my brother back home. We drank the rest of the sake at the New Year's party. We had a stable Honjozo and a more beautiful Daiginjo. Both of them were good sake.

Echigo tasted Sanwa sake. It had a clear mouthfeel with a slightly sour flavor. It was a delicious sake with a refined and light flavor.

Niigata sake today because Tochioage was on sale at the supermarket I often go to. The only Niigata sake that is sold at a local liquor store is this one, Yukinuchubai's "Normal Sake". My definition of sake is a sake with added sugar. To be honest, I don't like to drink it, but Yukinakubai is an exception. Honjozo is good, but for me personally, this is the best sake. Alcoholic sake is often criticized for its strong alcoholic smell, but I think the smell of alcohol is what makes this sake so good. The flavor of soybeans from Tochio-age (fried horse mackerel) and the flavor of big slices of aji (horse mackerel). The umami of horse mackerel cut into large pieces and the umami of soy sauce. The alcohol and the sake's deliciousness do not lose out to the deliciousness of the ingredients. Who said that Niigata sake is light and dry? Good sake, Yukichubai!

Hi Maruwa 😊 Regular sake from Yukichubai 👍. This bottle is labeled "Niigata" and is commonly known as "Niigata Label". It is a sake that has a sake-like character, including the alcohol smell👍. It has a certain elegance to it, which is another characteristic of Yukichubai.

I like to pair Tochi-age with regular sake "Ryu" from Echino Keitora, I see what Mr. Maruwa means when he says, "Alcohol and sake are as good as the flavor of soybeans (ingredients).

Good evening, Mr. Hiraccio. Yukinaka Ume, it's so deeply delicious. While it is said to give a sense of elegance. It has the sticky sweetness of ordinary sake. I feel like I am drinking sake. I'd like to drink it with red chochin.

I'm also interested in Keitora. Is there a sake that has local roots? It's not easy to find this sake in Osaka.

The sticky sweetness of regular sake, yes 😅. But it's a good drink that you're drinking 👍like you'd want to drink it with a red lantern 🏮. The Honjozo you know has a more dignified profile.

It's also a junmai sake, It is an excellent sake with almost no alcohol or sake smell, but it is a light and tasty Junmai sake that warms up well.

Junmai sake, not interesting but an honorary sake, seems to suit my tastes and interests. It can be drunk without hesitation, and I can easily imagine opening a square before I realize it.

At New Shinshu Izakaya, located relatively close to Shibuya station. I had visited this izakaya several times before, but it was relocated due to redevelopment. This was my first visit after the relocation. The menu has not changed, but the range of Japanese sake has expanded to include Jikin, The basic lineup includes Echino Kanmei, Tsuru no Tomo, Shimehari Tsuru, Yukinakubai, and Isojiman, which is right up my alley. The regular sake of Yukinuchubai tasted a little sweet. It goes well with simple dishes such as stewed new potatoes.

Honjozo. For evening drinking with brewing alcohol. The first sip is exceptional. Three or so tastes of umami and sweetness come in at the same time. It is an amazing moment as if you were kicked around, punched in the stomach, and slapped in the stomach at the same time. →Delicious. A mugful will make me happy again tonight. If you like sweet sake and the aroma of rice, you should definitely try Yukichubai. The taste is sweet, Japanese sweets type fruity. It goes down your throat softly. Refreshing aftertaste.

In the Showa period, this brand was difficult to obtain in Niigata Prefecture. It is not as common now as it used to be, The production volume is not so large. It is only occasionally seen. It is somewhat alcoholic. It may be light and dry in the best sense of the word, It is not as light and dry as Koshino-Kanbai. It tastes better warmed than chilled.
